| Description of the problem | Car : 2008 toyota camry le, 30k miles still under factory warranty problem : unintended sudden braking after toyota's recall description: i am owner of 2008 toyota camry le. My car experienced an unintended acceleration problem once. Local toyota dealer applied recall to fix this issue. Now my car applies unintended brakes. This has happened 3 times in last 15 days, each of the symptoms described below 1) trying to coast to stop, car was going at 50mph, as soon as i step foot off pedal, car slowed drastically, brake light didn't come on but car reduce speed from 50mph to 35mph and kept on reducing. Note that i never pressed brake pedal but brakes were applied automatically to wheels. This happened twice. 2) trying to merge into freeway, speed between 45-50mph & trying to accelerate, suddenly lost speed from 50 to 40mph in matter of 2 seconds, my foot was on accelerator all the time. We were almost rear ended by vehicle following us, i request you to look into this cars stopping by themselves are equally as bad as cars accelerating by themselves. We have experienced first hand when we were almost rearended by a car. Kindly look into this. |
